COMPETITION: Win a Fitbag to Get Fit at Home!

I enjoy keeping fit and leading a healthy life, however I don’t have time to go to the gym. I try and go to Zumba as often as I can, but my days don’t always turn up the way I want them to be, whether it is because I have to stay late at work or hubby is not home in the evening.

A Fitbag does exactly what it says, it is a bag to help you to get fit.

Fitbag Package

I was pleased to find out about Fitbag Ltd which is a London based fitness company, specialising in home fitness packages which are designed to give the user a full body workout. The majority of people who buy their products are time poor mothers, like myself, who do not have time to go to the gym but still want some form of home workout.

Fitbag Ltd aims to bring fitness back to the basics and make getting fit easy and accessible to everyone everywhere. I was sent a Fitbag Package (RRP £37.99) and it consists of 6 different products in a fashionable Fitbag tote bag. The products included are: Ab roller, resistance band, 2x 2kg dumbbells, resistance tube, thigh master and a PVC skipping rope.

Fitbag Package

The Fitbag Package comes with a Fitbag workout plan detailing several different exercises for each piece of equipment, including bicep curls using the resistance tube, ab extensions using the ab roller, jump rope using the skipping rope, lying chest press/flys using the dumbbells, seated thigh press including the thigh master.

The exercise guide has full instructions with pictures which are easy to follow and provide a full body workout. Check out the pictures below using the products (those are professional photos – not me by the way).

Exercising with Fitbag Package

The products in the Fitbag Package are of great quality and I had no problems using the equipments, I just put some music on and made my own exercise routine after little man went to bed. I suppose I don’t have any more excuses as now I can workout at home whenever I wish. For more information, please check http://www.fitbaguk.com/

Keep a diary of your achievements/goals as it is very motivational to keep you progressing and to look back and see how fitter you have become. I invested in a Nike+ running watch and signed up to challenges on their website which got me out and running even on days when I was struggling to get going.

Nothing helps your motivation to get down the gym or get out for a run around the park than treating yourself to some new workout clothes! Even if it’s just a cheap and cheerful jogger pants & hooded sweater set! 🙂

cut out lazy habits like taking lifts rather than steps, walk to the local shops, leave a bit earlier and walk the school run, if you don’t have time to do much exercise then make use of things at home like, walking up and down the stairs when you have 5 or ten mins to waste, put the radio on when doing the dinner and have a boogie in the kitchen lol

Make sure you breath and drink plenty of water not these energy drinks you only burn the sugars in the drinks were as water it helps burn the sugars and fats whilst exercising aswell as stops you feeling dehydrated.

Try to time yourself doing basic tasks – then challenge yourself to beat those times! I started with getting to work, and now extended it to making lunch and hoovering the house! gets your heartrate up and gives you a target to beat

I combine some of my workout with house work, music blaring swweping the stairs down and not hoovering,cleaning cubboard, hoovering washing floors all grate exercise and nice when finished to see the house all clean

Make sure you have fun, and take along the kids to give them a healthy start!
I sat on my bum too long after I had my fourth child, and got fed up of being so big, so I made sure I had fun while I exercised, so I would make a healthy picnic, no crisps! and me and the kids would choose a direction and do half an hours walk, then have our picnic, then half an hours walk back, and make sure we did this every saturday and sunday, soon I was doing this all the time even when the kids were at school, and I have lost 3 stone so far! So have fun, or you won’t stick to it!

my best tip is to find a friend who also wants to get fit and commit to doing it together. Whether it’s attending a yoga class, going to the gym, jogging or cycling, it’s much more motivating to get up and exercise if there is someone else relying on you to join them. Another tip is that even if you really don’t feel like exercising on a particular day, tell yourself you will do it for just 10 minutes. It’s often just the getting up and starting that is the hardest part, once you have started it’s easy to keep going.
